For the past 30-60 days, I too have noticed an increasing, yet off and on pins and needles feeling in mostly my hands, arms and sometimes across my back, face and legs. It is most intense in the evening. Tonight, when I picked up my prescription, I asked the pharmacist to change me back to Cozaar to see if there are any changes.
